- a total 'Red herring' I think?

IF - and a big IF, there is a possible loss of wing efficiency due to remaining de-icing fluid, there should be a reduction in RTOM publshed for full power take-offs. Since there is none (737), either Boeing are legally liable for a deficiency or it is not relevant.
